The Role: Billing Assistant

This is a great role providing critical billing support to our Practice Management and Finance teams. The work is varied, liaising with barristers and colleagues to prepare and process bills, as well as chasing unpaid bills. You will be part of friendly, fun and experienced team; the work is interesting and no day will be the same. Opportunities for career progression are excellent.

The Person

You will need to be highly organised, able to work independently, have great attention to detail and excellent numeracy skills. You will be dealing with a range of stakeholders, both inside and outside the organisation, so you will also be a great communicator. You may already have legal billing experience and are looking for a new challenge, you might be a graduate ready to embark upon a career in business, or you might be looking to return to the workforce after a period of absence.
